Care for the conditions that quietly shape daily life.

Major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, postpartum depression, and seasonal patterns. Treatment may include SSRIs, SNRIs, or other antidepressants alongside therapy referrals. Regular follow-up is important - most antidepressants need 4–6 weeks for full effect.

Generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, and specific phobias. The first goal is reducing symptoms enough to engage with therapy, which is often the longest-lasting treatment. Benzodiazepines are used cautiously and typically short-term.

Bipolar I and II require careful diagnosis - mood charting and detailed history matter. Treatment usually involves a mood stabilizer (lithium, valproate, or lamotrigine) and consistent monitoring. The goal is preventing relapse, not just treating the current episode.

Intrusive thoughts and rituals that take up significant time or cause distress. Medication (typically higher-dose SSRIs) combined with exposure and response prevention therapy is the most evidence-supported approach. Coordination with an ERP-trained therapist is recommended.

Adolescent and adult ADHD evaluation and treatment. Diagnosis is clinical - based on history, observation, and ruling out other contributors (sleep, anxiety, mood). Stimulant and non-stimulant options are discussed; cardiac history is reviewed before starting.

Specific phobias, agoraphobia, and avoidance patterns that limit work, school, or daily life. Exposure-based therapy is the foundation; medication can lower baseline anxiety enough to make therapy possible.
